We can see that

Slope\ of\ AB=Slope\ of\ BC=Slope\ of\ AC

The given points are on same line.

Further explanation:

There are two methods to find if the given points are on same line

  • The slope method: If the points are on same line the slopes of two pairs of points will be same
  • Area of triangle method

Given points are:

A(1,3) B(4,2) C(-2,4)

We will find the slope of AB, BC, and AC

So,

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Slope\ of\ AB=\frac{2-3}{4-1} \\=-\frac{1}{3}

Slope\ of\ BC=\frac{4-2}{-2-4}\\ =\frac{2}{-6}\\=-\frac{1}{3}

Slope\ of\ AC= \frac{4-3}{-2-1} \\=-\frac{1}{3}

We can see that

Slope\ of\ AB=Slope\ of\ BC=Slope\ of\ AC

The given points are on same line.
